Is it possible to have the notification timeout option be ignored when phone is charging (plugged in)? I use the notification timeout option only because of how much leaving the screen on drains the battery
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
NoLED doesn't officially support any type of sms popups at the moment. I really don't know much as to what causes that exactly. wish i could help :(

i think widgetlocker has an option to override the popups ? this can help but i guess you want these popups there.

another thing u can do is use the delay all feature in noled. set it to 30 seconds or something. see if that alleviates the problem.

makes sense. i'll add that to the todo list. nobody wants to timeout the charging indicator :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] fooldog01:
Im running into an issue after the update. I can't get the red dot int he notification bar to go away. It stays up there regardless of whether "NoLED is ON/OFF Notif" is checked or not. Tried resetting and everything.

Also, anytime it rotates to landscape while in the menus, it goes back to the homescreem.

ATT Captivate stock 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
its amazing the amount of people on the market that are complaining about the notification icon indicating noled's status without even really going through the settings menu to see whether they can disable it. i made it the first option in the misc menu for a reason :eek:

it seems that the bigger your user base is, the harder it is for me to make major changes. specially when it comes to the notification bar ! lol
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
first option in the misc submenu :D

problems with sms notification

hi madmack, i got the sms problem too, with the stock sms app also with handcent sms. The problem is not the popup. Everthing else like phone or email will work. Thanks for working on the wl problem, it works.

greets mike
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
still not working for me. set it to 5, 10 even. Sometimes, even my smses dont get notified.

a slight bummer but i am going back to using the default notifications. I dont get the beejive working but at least the sms, missed calls and emails are guaranteed to be working.

Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] fooldog01:
Honest to God cannot figure out how I didn't see that. I guess I misinterpreted the last setting in the Misc menu and just zeroed in on it. Anyway, Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rajuking:
Wonderfull

Very nicely done a perfect solution for LED
[Android Apps and Games] Snareman:
Love the app.

Can you tell me what the increased ability with WL does? I'd tried it before and it didn't work so I got a refund on WL but repurchased it based on the increased comparability.

Is there a setting to go from the NoLED flashing icons screen to the WL lock screen? When I don't have any NoLED messages flashing the phone turns on to the WL lock screen, but if I have a NoLED message flashing and then press the home screen it just goes to the stock lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
I can understand that... must be frustrating.

My wife couldn't figure it out, asked for my help... (I hadn't updated mine yet so didn't even know what it was_

....I turned it off within 5 seconds :D

don't worry word will get out about it. Anyway... congrats again for this app. It's a real life saver for the galaxy S. (being able to glance at the phone from across the room and know whether I have texts, emails, calandar reminders etc.. is GREAT!)

Hi there :)

Don't worry MadMack. I know how you might feel but it is just hard to please everybody. You could see how much love and attention your app have earned. You have had 206 pages of comments so far. WOW :D

Your hard work and usefulness of the app along with your regular updates will always be appreciated my friend. Please keep it up :)

Cheers,

I've tried seemingly every combination of "Delay all" delay, "Popup" delay, SMS Popup timeout, and WidgetLocker Timeout :-(

It could be to do with the way that the integration between NoLED and WidgetLocker works, as I suspect that WidgetLocker is noticing that the screen gets turned on when my popup fires (and consequently you may be getting told that the phone has been "locked" again).

Could you provide any more details about what you guys have implemented between yourselves in terms of notification firing, timing and resets of outstanding

notifications?

edit: Also, if I have "Easy Wake" mdoe on, I get no SMS notification, but if I have it off I get the screen coming on, but WidgetLocker rather than NoLED displayed.

edit 2: I also appear to still be having issues with dismissed (marked as read) SMSs still triggering NoLED notifications :-(
[Android Apps and Games] mondeo-rs:
Hi Folks,

since this day it will work on my s9000. Delay is 20 seconds, no sms delay. On handcent is popup out, on wl easy wake up off. The only problem ist after the notification, that after wake the is startscreen and not the wl.

greets mike
[Android Apps and Games] zenosteam:
ok i use a kitchen rom but the kernel don't' support no led how can i integrate it in my rom any help please
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thank you guys for your support :) sorry for the rant but things can get frustrating sometimes. back on topic

I don't really use WL, maybe I should install it and use it for a couple of days to detect all these problems.

Here is what happens at the moment: WL broadcasts two intents, LOCKED and UNLOCKED. NoLED only triggers if the last broadcasted intent was LOCKED. When UNLOCK is received, all pending notifications are cleared.

I also implemented a new API that dismisses all notifications with OnUserLeaveHint(). Here is the description from google's documentation:

"Called as part of the activity lifecycle when an activity is about to go into the background as the result of user choice. For example, when the user presses the Home key, onUserLeaveHint() will be called, but when an incoming phone call causes the in-call Activity to be automatically brought to the foreground, onUserLeaveHint() will not be called on the activity being interrupted. In cases when it is invoked, this method is called right before the activity's onPause() callback.

This callback and onUserInteraction() are intended to help activities manage status bar notifications intelligently; specifically, for helping activities determine the proper time to cancel a notfication"

With this API, NoLED currently dismisses the notification screens and clears the notifications. So if things are working correctly, pressing the back button or the home key should give you the same result.

the reason why when NoLED is displaying icons and you press the home key you get back to the home screen instead of WL is because WL is implemented not to run in the background when NoLED is being displayed. When the screen is off and noled is not active, however, pressing the home key wakes the phone and gets you to WL's screen instead of the home screen.

I'll load WL again on my device and see if I can replicate the problem with SMS notifications.

place the apk in /system/app ? I don't really cook ROMs but usually thats where i see all the preloaded apks in any cooked rom.
[Android Apps and Games] tiuk:
Any chance of implementing noled's notification/time display inside a widget? I would love to be able to use this in apps that let you display a widget as a screen saver (ex. Car Dock)
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
I bought WL since there were comments that it was now supported and am having the same issue (I clear a NoLED notification (by clicking home or whatever) and it takes me to the stock unlock screen instead of WL). I like to use WL so that if I clear a notification I can go to the app that triggered the notification quickly if I have it on my WL screen (works great for Gmail etc.)

Anyway, I've donated before and love your app but I donated another $2 US to cover the cost of purchasing WL for testing. Thanks much for looking into this for us!
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
According to this: http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker/developers WL will broadcast 3 intents. I'm wondering if you're doing a "Was the last broadcast LOCKED" rather than something like "not (Was last broadcast UNLOCK) && (Screen = OFF)" (forgive my psuedo-code).

It's possible that when I/we get a popup WL is broadcasting a HIDDEN, but not another LOCK (as the lock is not being activated again, it was never UNLOCKed). Which could then mean that the NoLED notification for the SMS is getting dismissed.
[Android Apps and Games] zenosteam:
thanks i will try it right now
[Android Apps and Games] zenosteam:
ok it's work now thanks a lot :D
[Android Apps and Games] rony474:
nice to have ...loving it .. NO led ..
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
As an update related to popups, I've managed to get something working by triggering some WidgetLocker intents via tasker.

Calling SUSPEND when I have an unread sms, and then implementing a timeout that's slightly longer than my SMSPopup timeout and the NoLED notification delay. Then triggering a RESUME after that time or as the exit task of the Unread SMS context.

So I get a popup, if I miss it I get a NoLED notification, if I don't I can mark it as read and I get no notifications after that. Huzzah.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i think you need to contact kevin and ask him not to disable WL if the foreground activity is NoLED's. there isn't much I can do if WL dismisses itself when it sees NoLED.

yea, am definitely doing "was the last broadcast LOCKED". that boolean only changes when a new UNLOCK broadcast arrives. So even if WL sends out a hidden, NoLED should think WL is locked until its unlocked explicitly with the broadcast.
[Android Apps and Games] AndreaMazzario:
Default NoLED v4.1.12 seems to cause Galaxy S Vibrant to lock under Froyo

We knew that my situation was very strange, but the problems I had with NoLED persisted after multiple factory resets of my phone and reinstallations of NoLED from the Market.

A few things happened to my phone (Vibrant) since my last post:

1- I wanted to be able to fully backup my phone with My Backup, so I rooted the phone (rooted only, I did not install any new ROM)

2- I got the newer release of My Backup from the Market (I wanted it, they had a fix in the handling of bookmarks)

3- I got the newer release of NoLED from the Market (it is now 4.1.15)

Well, the result of these changes is that I don't see any more the problems I described in my previous posts! Maybe the new release of NoLED changed something that somehow fixed the problem? We probably won't ever know, but the good news is that I can again use NoLED :)

But I found a minor bug in 4.1.15: If one selects "Permanent Time Display", and an e-mail comes in while the phone is asleep and the time is being displayed, the e-mail icon is properly displayed together with the time, but when the screen is refreshed to move the time and icon displays, the e-mail icon disappears. I did not try to see if this affects any other notification icons.

Thank you very much for producing this valuable application and for supporting it!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Wow ! glad you got it working again :)

about the email notification, maybe you checked your gmail account with your computer's browser ? if the email is marked as read, noled dismisses these notifications automatically for you.
[Android Apps and Games] AndreaMazzario:
No, I was looking at the phone, waiting to see if the e-mail icon would show up, I was testing NoLED, adding notifications as you suggested, and I clearly heard the bing on my phone, saw the e-mail icon show up on the screen, then immediately disappear when the screen was refreshed, and then it was no longer there. I tried to reproduce it, but in these tests the icon shows up a few seconds before the screen gets refreshed and everything behaves correctly. I suspect it must have been a race condition when the mail shows up immediately before the refreshing of the screen. Anyway, it is definitely a minor thing, don't worry about it.

And again, thank you for a very useful application.
[Android Apps and Games] Snareman:
I found that turning the Easy Wake on gets me out of the problem where it goes to the default lock screen.

Something I'm noticing now is that if I'm doing something in the phone, checking email, in an app, etc and I get a text that NoLED activates and goes to the NoLED icon screen, which is frustrating. It didn't used to do that. I don't know if thats a product of the combo with WL or the updated NoLED version. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Done. I emailed Kevin and asked him about adding that functionality. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] daviessm:
Hi, love the app. There'll be a donation on its way to you later!

I have a few features requests and bugs:

Option to only vibrate when notifications are set to vibrate (e.g. don't vibrate when in silent mode)

Don't vibrate when only displaying charging indicator

K9 email notifications don't clear once the message has been marked as read or deleted on the server, using IMAP IDLE. Does NoLED need to check whether there are still unread messages when it refreshes the screen?

(minor) sometimes the charging indicator is clipped off the right hand side of the screen

(minor and silly) could the charging notification change colour from red - yellow - green as it increases? :D

Even without those, it's amazing!

Also a question: does turning the proximity sensor on save more power than it uses?

Cheers

steev
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that probably happens when you receive a notification, hit the home button, and then receive another notification, right ? because that way, WL never sends out a UNLOCK broadcast, so noled thinks that the screen is still locked.

1. I just checked that and I'm definitely checking whether the phone is not in SILENT mode. so it should only vibrate if its not in that mode. :confused:

2. That's already in the todo list :) it'll get done.

3. I'm removing K9's built-in support in the next version. Now that we have Monitored Apps, we really don't need that. The implementation is not really that solid either because NoLED acquires K9 permissions when its installed, but sometimes you install K9 after NoLED which gives all sorts of crazy results and I end up with a huge pile of bug reports to go through :eek:

The problem with K9 is that it doesn't broadcast an intent when an email is marked as read. That's why you don't get the same features you have with Gmail.

i've noticied the problem with 4. and 5. is a nice idea too. Although that will work against the custom colors that you can set for that type of notification. I'd rather keep all notifications uniform in the way they behave.

Proximity sensor definitely saves power on my device :) I always use it, specially overnight. Detecting proximity is much less power hungry than having the entire screen turned on.
[Android Apps and Games] Snareman:
Sounds like that is probably correct. ;) Any good ideas around that? To bad Kevin isn't as responsive on here as you are. :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I have no idea. I'm sure that if you put the default lock screen back on, it'll work. but that'll apparently cause some other problems.

I've put up 4.1.16b. Change log is up on 2nd post

I'm treating the HIDDEN intent from WidgetLocker as LOCKED, see if that helps with your problems with SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] SimeonAS89:
Ok so first off,

I'm a long time Blackberry user, so of course I missed my flashing LED. This app has done its duty for notifications, so thumbs up there.

Although, I do have one issue and its not a HUGE issue but, how can I disable NoLED from showing in my notification bar/pulldown??

Keep up the great work.

Translation

If you still need translation to Romanian or Spanish just let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
first option in the misc submenu.

sure, the more editors the merrier. pm me with your gmail account so I can add you as a moderator to both the spanish and the romanian branches.

speaking of translations, I think i'll move away from google docs and use one of these online sharing services that help translate xml files. I've seen a couple of projects using that and its much better and easier to keep updated than the current method...
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Widget Locker + NoLED appears to be working properly

I emailed Kevin the Widget Locker (WL) developer and he suggested that dismissing NoLED notifications with the Home button was causing the problem due to how Android handles the Home button. So, I updated NoLED to 4.1.16b, and in the NoLED settings -> Miscellaneous I checked "Use back button" and unchecked "Use Home Button" and it appears to be working. If I get an email notification I can hit escape and it takes me to the WL screen. It does briefly show me the default unlock screen but it's so fast I don't have time to do anything with it. I do not have Easy Wake Mode enabled in WL.

Maybe some of you guys will have success trying those settings.
[Android Apps and Games] daviessm:
Er yeah sorry, I must have remembered that wrong..

:D

I can't argue with that. I had a look through the Google Code bugs for K9 - is this the one that would need to be fixed for this to work?: (err, I can't post links here yet but it's issue ID 2684 in k9mail)

Again, can't argue. Although the non-native notifications look very different from the app-triggered ones anyway :p

Ah, I remembered now. I'd want the vibration reminder to still work when the proximity sensor has turned the screen off, so if the phone's in my pocket I still get notified that something's happened. Would that be a possibility for the List? :)

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] :
First of all, wow great app. Just one little thing thet i want to have. Is ist possible that you can start/stop service for notification in the settings too? Beacuse i dont want to have a widget on my beautiful styled homescreen =).

[Android Apps and Games] Hero Yu:

great app but issues after update

I've loved this app from its inception but am having issues since the latest update.

It seems to throw me to the lockscreen every time a new notification comes in even when I'm actively using the phone. Just thought I would throw that out there.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
are you using widgetlocker ?
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
since last update when i have a notification it wont let me do nothing. i have to press the on/off button for a few seconds and restart the phone.

ive tested all the options to see if it was a problem with anyone of them but still the same. util new information i have notificatios off :(

until now it worked fine so for me this is a must have app.

keep up ;)
[Android Apps and Games] harsaphes:
No longer works on my nexus s after update. No more notifications
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Can you try the new beta (4.1.17b) apk from the OP ? I think I figured why my changes are causing some problems with some of the devices out there.

Done. check out the latest beta.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
An update to the folks having problems with WidgetLocker and SMS messages.

Everything seems to be working fine here. Put up WL on my device, default settings (well, took off that icon from the notification bar only). Received an SMS message and got the corresponding icon on my screen.

For those with problems, a step by step guide to replicate the issue would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
gonna try and give a feedback

ive tried and it seems to work +/- (at least i dont have to reboot the phone)

here is how it goes...

i have the option to deactivate the notification with power button, and its the only way i can get the unlock screen of the phone

in the older versions if i touched the home button it worked and if i let go to sleep again the notifications were still there...now it dosent work, only with power button
[Android Apps and Games] schiphol:
Hi madmack,

I have also been unable to use NoLed since the latetst update. After a notification comes in I'm unable to dismiss the notification and go back to the default TW lockscreen. The only way to use the phone after this happens is to reboot or plug in the usb cable, for some reason the latter does seem to instantly dismiss the noled screen.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
even with the latest version ? I've reverted back the changes I made in the market version.

Do you have "Use home button" checked in the misc. submenu ?
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
thats the same option as i have in power button...they work well

what i said is that in earlier versions when i used the home button, it didnt dismissed the notifications. it simply went to lockscreen (to see clock for instance) or even unlock the phone and go to an app, and if i didnt do anything (go to the sms or missed calls) it when back again to notifications, now it doesnt...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that's expected behavior and I think we'll keep it that way as we (hopefully) transition into not requiring any lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
ok then...but i preferred like it was in the older versions.

no problem, tks anyway ;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thank you very much all is working fine now and my homescreen look fine =)

Keep on this great work

Is there a particular setting that will allow my SGS headset to continue pause/start my media player?

I'm running 4.1.17b and with just the battery charge % showing (no other notifications present), pressing the button on my headset just lights up the two soft keys and nothing happens to my player. I have to press the home button to get back to the pattern lock screen then the headset button will respond, but this only lasts for a few seconds as the NoLED then comes back and blocks it.
[Android Apps and Games] daviessm:
Hi madmack, I have another suggestion! (promise I'll go away soon :p)

A notification that triggers when battery charge is running low. It might seem counterintuitive but I think would be a handy reminder to plug in.

Also an option to still vibrate when the screen has been turned off due to proximity. I mentioned this a couple of pages back but didn't know if you'd noticed it. I'd like my phone to vibrate for alerts when it's in my pocket but also have the screen off to save power. Of course if the phone is in silent mode it would do nothing until out of proximity.

Thank you! :D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, I've noticed your post and I thought I somehow replied to it. lol. I was imagining things maybe.

Anyways, i agree that it would be awesome to get the phone vibrating even when using proximity sensor. However, because I'm using a google hidden API to get that proximity sensor to work the way it is, it seems to override any vibration settings (its the same code that makes your screen go blank when in phone call) so thats why it automatically shuts any vibration/audio alert down as soon as you enter this proximity screen off mode.

I'll look around again to see if there is someway I can override this, but I remember giving up on it when I implemented this proximity feature.

So volume controls work now in 4.1.17b but pause/start don't ? I believe I can get that to work again. I'll release a new beta version that will hopefully make start/pause work.
[Android Apps and Games] scrollock:
Hi,

I've just updated to gingerbread firmware ver: 2.3.2 on my galaxy s. I'm using the default lock screen, everything's work fine except the wi-fi doesn't turn off, when the screen goes black. I'm using the "when screen turns off" wi-fi policy.

When I turn of noled, everythings works fine, but i really miss your program.

Could you check it, fix it ?

Thanks a lot.
